KD and I stumbled across a new set of interesting shops in a mews building at the west end of Edinburgh. Amongst them was one that sold ethnic goods such as Turkish rugs and handcrafted wooden furniture from the Far East. It also housed live sheep and dogs of all different shapes and colours.

I thought I spotted a badger in the display. It turned out to be a dog that had been deliberately dyed black and white.

We didn’t stay long. KD objected to the smell, and I felt claustrophobic.
